May be a wild goose chase -- but can't hurt -- could help...

Looking for all Khalidi / Obama / Ayers stuff

Thanks for helping if you have time....

[TruthWillWin]

Anyone know what the date of the event was?

[pnut22]

I think we’ve all been at it for hours. Best I can find is that dinner pic with Michelle in the beautiful orange jacket sitting next to Edward Said. For people so in love with themselves ,there aren’t a lot of photos to be found.

[fantom]

Maybe LA times has the article in past editions. Greta read the original story earlier tonite. Archives maybe .

[KoRn]

I was wondering about this exact thing earlier.

If it was on the web anywhere, it could be found if the site and the approximate date were known. I’m sure the LA Times aren’t the ONLY people to have a copy of this video.

[garjog]

I wonder if Khalidi has a web site?

Maybe someone could contact him for a comment?

Could there be pro pali web sites or blogs in California that reported on the meeting?

[RobinMasters]

2003.

[mylife]

Get the date on the original story, then face book LA Times Staff. Combine those names, date and story in a google or dogpile search

Would help if it was narrowed down to a date or even month.

Why search Columbia files? I thought the event was held some where (University of Chicago?) just prior to Khalida leaving for Columbia University.

[txhurl]

Searching Khalidi’s Columbia email address might turn up some stuff.

[CaribouCrossing]

Way to go, NYC_BULLMOOSE! I’ve been searching but so far, no luck. Not giving up, but “bumping” this thread in hopes that someone will see it and give it a try.

[CaribouCrossing]

Perhaps you’ve seen this video before...but I’ll post it for those who haven’t.

[Azzurri]

I wonder if contacting Chicago-area videographers to see if they taped the event would be fruitful? Not sure how one would go about it, and doubt they would be of much help, but here's one...for starters: Sureshot Productions

[GAgirl82]

TruthWillWin is right. From my understanding, it was a going away party/dinner from when he was leaving the University of Chicago. If anyone’s going to look, they need to start there.

I doubt it would be on CU’s site since he’s a professor there now.

[B Knotts]

I’ve looked for an hour or so, but can’t find it.

[B Knotts]

Correct. I googled all the stuff on uchicago.edu, but came up empty. There are a couple of other videos of this guy...but no video of the dinner that I can find.

[Enchante]

Just ask Khalidi himself — since it was his big send-off party when he was leaving Chicago, I’m sure they provided him with a copy for the memories..... and surely he will be happy to provide it to the media so that America can see what this is all about!!

If that doesn’t work we should just ask the Obamessiah — surely he can call for the video to be released and use his own influence to ensure the “public right to know” — a favorite liberal/MSM chant, after all!!

[diefree]

I found the same thing. If he was leaving Chicago to go to New York, I would think he’s leaving at the end of a semester.

Rashid Khalidi Photo: Another Questionable Barack Obama Friendship
by Jim Brogan

Rashid Khalidi is a friend of Barack Obama. In fact, Khalidi and his wife used to babysit for Barack and Michelle Obama. Why is that significant?

The National Review Online’s Andrew McCarthy has a great piece breaking it down. There is no doubt that it would be making headlines in the mainstream media if it were about a Republican.

Apparently, in 2003, the then llinois state senator, attended a party for Rashid Khalidi. Nothing too harmless right? Wait, it gets better.

Khalidi’s friends were seeing him off as he left his post as a professor at the University of Chicago to go on to Columbia University.

[cookcounty]

For those with better research skills, I’d suggest checking Chicago TV stations (WGN and LAT are both owned by the Tribune Company). Also, archives of the two PBS stations, WTTW and WYCC. The latter is controled by the City of Chicago itself, and often had somewhat radical stuff on.

[GAgirl82]

Okay, according to web archives, by June 9, 2003 they had appointed another director to the Int. Studies department. See the scrolling ticker on the bottom of the page and the page it links to: http://web.archive.org/web/20031004083854/internationalstudies.uchicago.edu/

[pnut22]

Found this “Another event occurred in February 2005 that included Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama, a fairwell dinner for Arab American Action Network (AAAN) founder Rashid Khalidi” Would have to be the same dinner.

[bzybee]

Has anyone ever thought about trying to dig up some dirt on the reporter who is holding the tape? Maybe the dirt could be swapped for the tape

[Irish Eyes]

Newt just suggested that Hannity offer a $50,000.00 reward for a copy of the tape. He said Hannity might be surprized and find it on his desk. Could be ?????

Go right ahead. I'll bring you a file baked into a cake.

[txhurl]

Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system;

http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/971106/justice.shtml

Searching the chronicle might be the way to go.

[Jedidah]

Ace of Spades is offering a $25K reward for the tape. Dirty Harry’s Place says they’ll help raise it.

[Cinnamontea]

Bump.

Good news, I am not real familiar with those sites do they get a lot of traffic ?

[Jedidah]

Ace does.

[CaribouCrossing]

Thanks for the information, cookcounty. Passing it on.

[maine-iac7]

Listen to the obamination stutter and stammer when asked about Khalidi - he uses the same mantra - “he is not one of my advisers, he's not one my foreign policy people...” (he said the same about Ayers) - totally deflecting the question. No one is intimating that these people are on his campaign staff.

But you'll notice he doesn't address the banquet or his toast to Khalidi or his mention of the many dinners he and Michelle had in his home...

Right now, it's the same old “just a guy in my neighborhood” defense.

We gotta get this out there THIS WEEK...

“I just got here, what can I do?”

Just read the thread and info posted so far and jump in with both feet. :)

[pnut22]

After reading all this crap, Obama just keeps saying wait until I’m elected then I can show my real feelings. For now I have to hide all my love of Palestine and sucker in the Jewish vote. Psssst.. I’ll say whatever it takes to get elected. You just stay under that bus a while and I’ll take care of you later. I need a shower.

[txhurl]

Well, on the upside, Axelrod told a reporter in Rome today he was getting worried.

[Hanna548]

I posted the article this came from, but I thought maybe this date would be helpful.

Barack, Michelle, Edward and Mariam
Abunimah’s report included a photo of Obama with his wife Michelle seated at a table with virulently anti-Israeli Professor Edward Said and his wife Mariam, in what Abunimah said was a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Said gave the keynote speech.

[maine-iac7]

http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/punch-number-two-is-coming-get-ready-to-say-great-merciful-zeus/

scroll down and read under the photo of the Obamas and Edward Said and his wife -

[txhurl]

This is one of the photos on FR from that dinner:

The other one has Obama tilting his face up with his fingers, and Michelle all bug-eyed.

[Hanna548]

Yea I just found those photos. Bummer. So as to avoid walking over trod ground, have that bunch of links from wayback been all gone through? Any other hints on where to look or what not to bother with?

[maine-iac7]

This tape may be the reason the obamination and plugs all of a sudden started their mantra: “VOTE TODAY. DON'T WAIT. VOTE NOW. “

If this tape is released, with him praising Khalidi - and him mentioning the many dinners he and wifey enjoyed in Khalidi’s home - AND both Ayers are there - thought to have also shared the same table - then America will see, with their own eyes, proof of ALL the lies about his relationships with terrorists who hate America =just maybe that could offset all the fraudulent votes...

[txhurl]

Jeff, do you remember that kickass anti-Obama site I linked you to and you put it on your page?

I’ve since reloaded my maching and lost everything.

[nutmeg]

FYI... anyone interested?

[txhurl]

Nevermind, I found it.

Might be able to mine this excellent page for Khalidi stuff.
